Fitzpatrick was brought up in Surbiton and attended Richard Challoner School in Malden Manor. He had been in the youth system at Fulham until 2009, before spells with Staines Town and Hampton & Richmond Borough.[2] Having come through the ranks at QPR, Fitzpatrick was signed by AFC Wimbledon on 23 September 2014 by Alan Reeves as part of the club's newly formed under-21 side, after impressing as a trialist.[3] He first appeared as an unused substitute in the 2–0 away loss to Wycombe Wanderers on 18 October 2014.[4] He made his football league debut on 28 December 2014, coming on as a 76th-minute substitute against Exeter City which ended in a 4–1 victory for the "Dons".[5] He scored his first goal for Wimbledon in January 2016. Fitzpatrick signed for Barrow on 28 June 2017 on a 1-year deal.

After leaving Barrow, he had spells at Dorking Wanderers, Kingstonian and Walton Casuals before signing for Southern League side Farnborough in February 2020.[6]
